History

In 2011, before the conception of the "Blood vs. Water" moniker, the Philippine version of the series had pairs of celebrities (similar to its previous season), each with a pre-existing relationship. Unlike the US adaptation of the format, the Philippine version had pairs of local celebrities, and the tribes had five pairs each.

In Survivor: Blood vs. Water, the twist split up the tribes with the loved ones being on the red Tadhana tribe while the returning players were on the yellow Galang tribe. The twist majorly affected the season, affecting Tribal Councils and Redemption Island duels. The twist allowed a contestant on Redemption Island to switch places with their loved one if they were still in the game, meaning the contestant on Redemption Island would join their loved one's tribe, while the contestant still in the game would take their loved one's spot on Redemption Island.

Trivia

Survivor: Blood vs. Water

According to R.C. Saint-Amour and Colton Cumbie, the twist was originally going to pit blood relatives (blood) against couples of significant others (water), but the last minute substitution of Candice and John Cody for R.C. and her father threw off the balance, forcing the loved ones to compete against each other on opposing tribes. However, this has not been confirmed by production.

Ciera Eastin is the only person who cast a vote against her loved one, in this case, her mother Laura Morett. She cast her vote against her mother at the last Tribal Council where at least one full pair were present and in the game.

Tina and Katie have spent the most days together in the game, playing on the same tribe from Day 14 - Day 24 when Tina is voted out, and playing together on Day 32, when Katie is eliminated.

Tyson and Rachel were the first pair to come in 1st and 18th, followed by Natalie and Nadiya Anderson.

Survivor: San Juan del Sur

Jeremy and Val Collins are the only pair in the season to have a unique relationship.

Interestingly, they were both the second person to be voted off a tribe. In this case, Huyopa for Jeremy (not counting Julie's quit) and Coyopa for Val.
